104-132, 110 Stat. 1217. We have reviewed the record and the dis- trict court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magis- trate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Adkins, No. CR-89-238-S; CA-94-69-4 (M.D.N.C. Dec. 8, 1995). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
